Thanks Beth. Withdrawing from the Paxil was definitely a nightmare. I was reading some reviews and information on that med last night (very mixed reviews, as with other meds probably) There was a site online some years ago which was exclusively for withdrawing from Paxil. I did not join but read there occasionally. There was a lot of information there (and support... etc...) Some people posted there for 10 plus years if I recall correctly (but I could be wrong)

I did not withdraw from it with liquid titrations as was recommended on that site. I doubt if that option would have been available in this country (and if it was........

SSRI's are notoriously difficult to withdraw from (but most pdocs refuse to believe that) - unless you cross over immediately to another SSRI.

I think the official line is still that Paxil is ''not addictive'' and that withdrawals last >>?? I do not know. It's a while since I read any official info re this. I am hoping the benzo withdrawal will not be as rough... or maybe it will be ''worse''...
Yes...


I'm going to dance a bit to try to get some of this.... stuff... out of my head.

Love to all


And to you


ETA Papa bear has been at home all day. We had a ''visitor'' today.... (mending our loo).

He does not want me to talk (this will probably be so for the rest of this day)


Why doesn't he want you to talk? Maybe because he has no loo right now

I had asked him if he would read this post to check for typos .. etc.
